| Abstract [eng] |
In the final project recycled ash is used in the production of artificial aggregates. These aggregates are produced by granulation using different compositions and carbonization methods. The obtained artificial aggregates and their properties are compared with expanded clay aggregates. The master's final project consists of three parts: literature analysis, review of methods and materials used, and review of results. In the literature analysis, suitable materials for granulation and factors which influence the granulation process are reviewed. Also, different methods and suitable materials are examined which can be used in the carbonization process. The review of methods and materials describes the methods that will be used in the fly-ash granulation process, how the properties of the samples will be examined and what material compositions are used in the study. The last part, the experimental results, analyzes how the physical and mechanical properties of artificial aggregates and their concrete products changed using different binders and curing methods. |
